The Boston Celtics have been so good this season that it’s almost easy to overlook the fact that they’ve been doing what they’ve been doing without starting center Robert Williams in the mix.

A rush of adrenaline makes a human capable of something they never thought was within their capacity. People don’t feel as much pain whenever they’re in the heat of the moment.

LeBron James is no stranger to pulling off dunks that would have ended someone else’s career had they actually gone through the net.
